Farmers here believe that the severe winter
weather will entirely destroy the chinch bugs,
and give us a fair field next season in small
grain. The crops were quite short, and many
farmers who sold at 30 cents will find their
neighbors buying at fifty to sixty cents by
harvest, for feeding. Hogs all sold except a
few for stock and breeding, and hog cholera
victims. A Fabmeb.
•Marshall Connty—Jan. 24th,
In many localities here, corn last year
nearly failed, and there are many farmers
now compelled to buy, rather than sell. Fat
hogs have all been sold, aud there is little or
no corn for stock. Farmers in many instances
will be compelled to get through to another
crop. Much of central Illinois is effected in
this way, besides the terrible scourge of the
hog cholera. Fabmeb.

reduce the price of English beef six cents

markets as long as it was possible to do
so. But the average Englishmen knows
what good beef is when it is served up,
